FASTQuick: rapid and comprehensive quality assessment of raw sequence reads

摘要

Rapid and thorough quality assessment of sequenced genomes on an ultra-high-throughput scale is crucial for successful large-scale genomic studies. Comprehensive quality assessment typically requires full genome alignment, which costs a substantial amount of computational resources and turnaround time. Existing tools are either computationally expensive owing to full alignment or lacking essential quality metrics by skipping read alignment.
